Hey Mike,

Not sure exactly how into the blues you are, but may I recommend the book “First Blue Angel” to you? It’s the story of the founding member of the blues and it’s a good read, I’ve met the man many times and he is a true hero.

Oh, and I also built their website First Blue Angel.com but they have since BUTCHERED IT WITH THEIR MEDDLING.

I like the The Killers and The Darkness soundtrack you have going on in the background. ;)

Wow! Very nice. I’m a HUGE fan of the Blues. I can’t wait until this year’s Fleet Week in San Francisco (in October). I intend to break out the new Sony HD camera and tape the whole show. I’ll be sure to post it on my blog.

The Blues didn’t make it to San Francisco last year as they had to do a special show in Pearl Harbor – but they’re returning this year. I’ve seen them perform all over the country and there’s nothing like seeing them perform over the San Francisco Bay on a nice clear day.

(crossing fingers hoping for no fog this year…)

Man, that looks like the ideal afternoon.

Just curious, what is the total file size of that video?

Wow… nice music (I too believe in a thing called love ;-)). The last fly over, “Whoa”

Great photos and video Mike! At some times it looks like you could spit and hit them as they flew by! Wow. I agree with what you said about the Blue Angels being one of the greatest airshows you will ever see. I had the honor of seeing them fly in Muskegon, Michigan a few weeks ago, as part of my summer airshow tour, and they really make you appreciate raw horsepower and piloting expertise. They also make you think to yourself, "Damn, I'm lucky to be on their side!"
